The authors are responsible for the content. No guarantee is accepted for the correctness of entries. Publication does not imply that the solutions described or the designations used are free from the industrial property rights of others.

The author does not guarantee that the information provided is current, correct, complete or of any particular quality. Liability claims against the author relating to damages of a material or immaterial nature caused by the use of or failure to use the information provided or by the use of faulty or incomplete information are basically excluded unless any intent or gross negligence on the part of the author can be proven.

All offers are non-binding and without obligation. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without separate notification or to cease publication temporarily or permanently.

2. References and links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external web pages ("hyperlinks") which are outside the sphere of responsibility of the author, a liability obligation would only become effective in the event that the author was aware of the contents and it was technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent the use thereof if such contents were illegal.

The author herewith expressly declares that at the time at which the links were added no illegal contents were discernible on the linked pages. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked/connected pages. He therefore herewith expressly distances himself from all contents of all linked/connected pages which were changed after the links were added. This statement applies for all links and references provided within the author's own website and for external entries in guestbooks, discussion forums, lists of links and mailing lists set up by the author and in all other forms of database the contents of which can be written to. The liability for illegal, faulty or incomplete contents and in particular for damages arising from the use of or failure to use information provided in this way shall rest solely with the provider of the page to which reference is made and not the party merely referring to the relevant published matter via links.

3. Copyright and trademark law

The author makes every effort to comply with copyright in all publications. All brands and trademarks mentioned within the website and, where applicable, protected by third parties are governed without restriction by the provisions of the relevant valid trademark law and the rights of ownership of the registered owner. It should not be concluded , merely from the fact that they are mentioned, that trademarks are not protected by the rights of third parties.

The copyright for published items prepared by the author himself shall remain solely with the author of the pages. Such graphics, sound documents, video sequences and texts may not be reproduced or used in other electronic or printed publications without the express approval of the author.

The use of and payment for all services offered is also allowed – in so far as this is technically possible and reasonable – without the provision of such data or with the provision of anonymous data or a pseudonym. The use of the contact data published within the Legal Information or similar information such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail addresses by third parties to send information that has not been expressly requested is not allowed. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the senders of "spam mails" in the event of any violation of this prohibition.
